Hyundai Kona (2017-2020)

A real "driver's car"! Never thought I'd say that about a Hyundai, but this car is the best thing I have ever driven.
The turbo AWD is so sure-footed and wants to gooo! Throw it into a few corners and hit the throttle as you exit. The combination of DCT transmission, AWD with torque vectoring, teamed with Australian tuned suspension delivers an awesome feeling of control.
"Normal" drive mode is great for sedate shopping trips but put it into "Sport" mode and it becomes a different car. Acceleration improves noticeably and the steering tightens...Read more

Bought the base model in tangerine comet for $27888 when there was a 1.1% finance offer, it’s an amazing car! The acceleration in the 1.6 turbo is a surprise, that’s for sure. Handling is very good, love the apple car play. Nice to be a little higher on the road. Looks like a big SUV only scaled down. Easy to park. Our second one is blue lagoon and has the active safety pack which I absolutely love. The blind spot indicators really work, the lane keep assisting has different levels from off to actively keeping you in lane, the direction that so...Read more

Well i have to say i am very disapointed with Hyundai not only did i have to wait 72 days for delivery but i feel ripped off i paid 32,500 for my new car now they are 28,990 didnt get what i asked for ie slimline visors and everybody else got a bottle of wine on picking up their car but not me. I was pressured into going for the kona and it should have been a happy experience but it was not in fact it tarnised the whole purchase, but the reduction in price feels like a kick in the teeth i have always liked Hyundai but this has put me off for l...Read more

I've always been a Toyota gal but after test driving the new Hyundai Kona, I was pleasantly surprised. Comparing apples for apples with the Rav4, it was an easy choice to move over to my bright green machine and experience a different world of driving.
First thing I noticed was a little quieter on the road. Big bonus was fuel economy. I still haven't mastered everything that this car has to offer but fortunately having teenagers means they can help me out with some radio programming.
I've already racked up 10,000 kms because I always want to ...Read more

Having decided to downsize to a smaller car I chose the Kona due to a combination of engine/transmission performance, 5 year warranty with reasonably priced fixed service schedule, higher stance compared to hatchback and AWD. Although looks are a subjective issue, it does grow on you.
So far have not regretted buying the car. Very happy with sufficient power and crisp gearchanges. Lack of steering wheel paddles is not an issue - stick it into sports mode and let it rip. Fuel consumption a very reasonable 7.3lt per 100km on average, giving a...Read more

Elite 1.6T AWD with the 7 speed auto (Acid Yellow)

We bought the car brand new last month, the Fiancée always wanted an SUV and we looked at every brand but couldn’t go past the Kona. There was one thing we couldn’t get our heads around though which was the fact there isn’t a sunroof option...

Overall this car is absolutely awesome to drive, please invest in the 1.6t with the AWD as it’s great on the road! Punchy and really smooth, gear changes aren’t quite as good as a VW DSG auto but we all know their track record with reliability (or l...Read more
